SpaceX is now targeting Monday, April 7 for a Falcon 9 launch of Group 11-11 containing a batch of Starlink smallsats to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California from 2:35 PM – 7:06 PM PDT. The Falcon 9 first stage will attempt to land on ASDS Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY) after its flight. The booster serial number is unknown at this time.
The SpaceX launch date for Group 11-11, originally scheduled for April 5, 2025, was likely changed due to a ground system issue with the Falcon 9 rocket, specifically a hydraulic system issue with a clamp arm at Launch Complex 39A.
Weather forecast is a high of 62°, wind gusts 23 mph, and cloud cover 58%.
